Hostel Alegria offers a breakfast experience that leaves many guests pleasantly surprised, featuring a variety of options to kick-start the day. Visitors commonly highlight the breakfast as a delightful touch, especially given the price per night. The spread generally includes cereals, sliced bread, butter, jam, coffee, tea, milk, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt and fruits with some praising the offering as the best they’ve encountered in a hostel setting.
The garden serves as a serene backdrop for breakfast, adding to the overall positive experience. While some reviews mention the breakfast being simple or modest, many guests find it tasty and sufficient. The self-service feature allows for early risers to start their day without delay and cleanliness appears to be consistently noted across reviews.
However, there are a few areas where improvement is needed. Some guests felt the breakfast options were too basic and lacked variety, occasionally described as scarce or weak. Issues such as lumpy milk and the absence of coffee on certain days were also reported. Despite these drawbacks, many still found the breakfast satisfactory, emphasizing the value-added aspect of having breakfast included in the stay.
The general atmosphere, enhanced by the friendliness of the host, Rui and a well-equipped kitchen, adds to the charm and functionality, making it a cozy spot for budget travelers.
